About the Item

Pair of Vases Ornato Cariatidi Terracotta Impruneta Internal Diameter (Cm) 48 External Diameter (Cm) 58 Height (Cm) 43 Base Dimensions (Cm) 28 Weight (Kg) 24 Vaso Ornato Cariatidi Terracotta Impruneta The Vaso Ornato Cariatidi Terracotta Impruneta seems to have been created specifically to embellish the hall of a Greek temple. The meticulousness and refinement of the details give this vase an elegant and refined appearance and thanks to the quality of the terracotta with which it is made, it lends itself very well to decorating outdoor spaces and hosting delicate plants and flowers. Thanks to the quality of the terracotta, the Vaso Ornato Cariatidi also resists low temperatures, reaching -25° C. Vaso Ornato Cariatidi Terracotta Impruneta Features Material The Vaso Ornato Cariatidi is made with Impruneta terracotta, a type of clay rich in ferrous materials, which in addition to giving the particular shade of pink in the finished product, make the terracotta permeable and resistant to frost, thus becoming suitable for outdoor use. This material also has a great virtue: it manages to maintain a uniform temperature throughout the vase, maintaining the ideal climate for the plant. Through this intrinsic ability, it is possible to guarantee a constant atmosphere for our plants, cooler in summer (evaporating excess heat through the terracotta walls) and milder in winter (thanks to greater insulation from the cold). Shape and style The Vaso Ornato Cariatidi Terracotta Impruneta is characterized by a classic shape, with a narrower base than the top, but the peculiarity of this vase lies entirely in the central part, where the decorative elements seem to explode. The central band is decorated with festoons that run along the entire circumference of the vase and seem to be held together by two figures in relief, the head of a faun and the figure of a caryatid. The latter shows an impressive attention to detail and from the central position in which it is found, it seems to support the structure of the vase, just as its sisters do with Greek temples. Finish and workmanship The surface of the Vaso Ornato Cariatidi Terracotta Impruneta is carefully finished and is pleasant to the touch. The workmanship is completely handmade and follows centuries-old traditions of Impruneta. Frost resistance Thanks to the quality and structure of the Impruneta terracotta, the Vaso Ornato Cariatidi Terracotta Impruneta is resistant to low temperatures and frost. Vaso Ornato Cariatidi Terracotta Impruneta Useful tips Cleaning and maintenance To keep the Vaso Ornato Cariatidi Terracotta Impruneta clean and in perfect condition, you need to carry out simple and quick cleaning operations that take a few minutes. You can use a hard brush and water to remove any deposits of dry earth or salt, so as to finish cleaning with a solution of water and Marseille soap or a common neutral detergent. Home Decor Our Vaso Ornato Cariatidi Terracotta Impruneta is suitable for hosting different types of plants and flowers. Thanks to its elegant and refined appearance, in any outdoor space it will be like returning to the time of the Greeks and finding yourself in the hall of a temple.
